Which turtle or turtles will get the most screen time?

I think Leo and Raph will get the most screentime and Mikey will have just alittle bit less and Don will have the least amount

Don is the best though!

I agree with that, sadly. (Though I do love Leo... Just not as much as Don.)

But it's apparently how it goes, I suppose. Since that's always how it is.

And a hearty 'hear, hear' to that!! Huzzah!

Hah... I can imagine the turtles having this competition among themselves. The only thing I'm counting is the number of minutes until I get to see turtles on the big screen. :)

I agree that Don will have the least screen time, though. He's very internal and subtle, and it takes a soft touch to make that play well in a movie meant for popular consumption. I don't know where exactly Don will land in this flick, but it seems he'll at least be allowed to be Donatello this time around. I'll take quality over quantity any day.

I think Mikey will just because he has the most during the trailer. He'll at least be talking the most

I've heard it's a Leo/Raph heavy tale like the first one. So I'm guessing screentime will be similar to the first one.

However, isn't Donatello Peter Laird's favorite turtle? If I'm right I'm guessing that he will make sure Don's screentime won't be crap on a half shell.

Leonardo and Raphael of course :roll:

I don't know why every one says Donatello doesn't get treated fairly. Maybe in the live action movies he's been casted as a Mikey clone but I seriously think he is gonna have a big role in this movie, like he does in most incarnations. Mikey is the one that is just gonna be there for comic relief, which sort of gives me mixed feelings 'cause I won't my fav turtle to have as much impact as the other turtles, and not just be "comic relief"...

Yay! Someone else is saying it too! :lol:

I hear that really often, but I have the feeling that Don is the turtle he identifies with most, not the one he loves most. I don't think he'd want any of the main characters to have 'crap' screentime.

I think Leo will get the most screen time, followed by Raph, then Mikey, and lastly, Don. Note: It's not what I want, it's just what I think.

Leo's only been dominating screentime in the new 'toon, as far as I can tell. The old series seemed to be relatively even with an emphasis on Mikey. The first movie was all Raph. Second movie... maybe a little more Don, but seemed even enough to me. Third movie I haven't seen...

This "Leo ALWAYS gets the focus" isn't quite accurate from what I've seen. He's had it in the last 'toon incarnation, but that's all...

That said, I do think he'll get the most screentime because he's training in the jungle in the beginning, right? Raph will probably be close - he has his whole vigilante thing to play out. And of course the fight between them. I have a hard time picking favorite Turtles anymore, but I would welcome a movie where Leonardo is finally in character (again, I haven't seen the 3rd movie, so unless they fixed his personality there...)

It does look like Don will have a more active role than in the last movies, though. Which makes me happy. And unless Mikey busts out some awesome ninja skills sometime during the fighting, I suspect he'll be relegated to comic relief. And that would be a shame.

honestly does it matter?

You know, I've been watching the old toon DVDs and Donatello gets spotlight in almost every other episode in the old show.

In most episodes its Don giving the plans and telling the others what to do while Leo just stands there. If there's any TMNT medium where Donny had it good, it was definitely the original cartoon.

I too would say leonardo and Raphel.

Course Raph got plenty of screentime in the original trilogy.

I heard that the turtles have been in touch with their respective lawyers and are each vying for an equal amount of screentime, or else there'll be law-suits aflyin'...

I'm saying Raph. Since he has that new Nightwatcher persona.

I'm sure they'll all get a pretty equal amount of screentime; there won't be that much difference in the amounts of time they each get.

I think it's gonna be Raph. Didn't the director say he was favoring Raph a bit, followed closely by Mikey? So I'm thinking it's gonna be these two that steal the show!:D

Oh, Sage Ninja, why do you say Leonardo was out of character in the first two movies? I'm just curious.

Don't care. Whatever tells a good story. Some characters work better in the spotlight, some don't want to be in the spotlight. Either way all of them will have more screen time than say Splinter.

I meant Donatello. In the first live action movie he was pretty much a wise cracking jockster. it seemd out of place. And it felt like a plug just to get fans to like him. That sort of thing is annoying because Donatello is awsome in his own right with out being doctored up so that viewers can like him. He was more in character with his technological curriosity and scienctific know how in the second live action movie.

But to be honest I didn't like Leonardo's portrayal in the live action movies. He was so passive and mild that I was disgusted. I want to see authrotive calm and collective Leonardo. Not passive agressive, can't-come-up-with-a-good-come-back-when-Raphael-is-in-your-face, Leonardo. Grrr.

No shiznit! If we are going for a more Mirage like feel of the turtles in this movie, why don't we go with Mirage turtle personalities? Now i've never actually read the Mirage comics for my self, except for the synposis they give on the offical site. But from what I under stand, from what I've read and what i've heard other fans say, Mikey isn't like that in the comics. From what i understand Mikey in the comic is the most humourous of the turtles but not to the point of being a bumbling idiot or merly comic relief. And that he is just a serious a fighter and as grim as the other turtles in battle. Thats Michelangelo I want to see.
